The plans would have created 955 jobs in and around a holiday and leisure park with 236 holiday homes. There would have also been a convention centre and amenities such as a restaurant, pub and shops. After the council granted permission for the project in October 2016, work was planned to complete in 2022 with construction reducing season times, opening hours and ride availability of Camel Creek. Although minimal progress is being made to the project, and with the plans being scaled back, Royale Life plan to continue with the expansion.
